Chapter 214
The next morning
Sun Clan dressed up, dressed in a graceful and luxurious manner, with a smile on her face, she instructed, “I don’t know how many guests there will be in the British Duke’s mansion today, Ayan Ashu, the two of you will follow Yu Niang around, and you must not run around”
Ling Jingyan, who was dressed in a pink dress, winked playfully and responded in a serious manner, “Mother, you can rest assured
A-shu and I will be obedient and follow sister-in-law”
Sun smiled and gave Ling Jingyan a blank look, “Ah Shu has always been calm and careful, where is the need to worry, I was originally talking about you”
Ling Jingyan stomped her foot and pouted, “Mother!
I am your own daughter, do you have so little faith in me?”
Sun nodded nonchalantly
The crowd was amused
For a woman’s maturity ceremony, it was usually the female family members who went to observe the ceremony
Neither Grand Master Ling nor Fifth Master Ling had any intention of making a visit to the house, and Ling Xiao, who was suffering from an eye disease that caused much inconvenience, had no choice but to stay in the mansionAh Shu, today is Third Miss Jiang’s maturity ceremony, do you think the Crown Princess will go to observe the ceremony?”
Ling Xiao asked in a low voice
Ling Jingshu smiled, “She should go”
For Su Ying’s maturity ceremony, the Crown Princess was invited to be the guest of honor
Jiang Shuyue was the first daughter of the Duke of England’s residence and the niece of the Crown Prince
At her maturity ceremony, the Crown Princess would definitely show up
Perhaps, the Imperial Grandson will also go to the British Duke’s Mansion today
Ling Xiao thought about it and purposely instructed, “The Crown Princess has some preconceived notions about you, so it’s better for you to stay away from her when you see her”
Ling Jingshu listened and felt warm and fuzzy, and smiled faintly, “I will be careful”
The Duke of England’s House was the most noble of the noble houses in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Jiang Shuyue was the only first daughter of the Duke of England’s House
Her maturity ceremony was bustling and grand
There were waves of women who came to congratulate her
Sun’s party arrived quite early and was led into the inner hall by the stewardess
Sun Clan and the Duchess of England warmly exchanged a few pleasantries
Duchess of England swept her gaze over Jiang’s Ling Jingshu
She landed on Ling Jingshu’s face and asked with a smile, ”This girl, is the Ling Jiu Miss that Yue’er always talks about!
Sure enough, she was born with a beautiful face”
Ling Jingyan busily stepped forward and saluted, “Jingshu has met the Duke of England’s wife”
The Duke of England’s wife was already over forty years old, her appearance was not very beautiful, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead
However, she was full of smiles and was quite gracious and amiable
When Jiang Shuyue smiles
She was very similar to the Duchess of England
Duchess of England smiled and said, “Yue’er is still in her boudoir, several of you go and talk with her”
Jiang was busy smiling and answered, turning her head to greet Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu, “You two come with me”
Jiang and Jiang Shuyue were cousins
Since they were young, they had often traveled to and from the British Duke’s Mansion, and were very familiar with every blade of grass and tree here, introducing them as they walked, “Cousin Yue’s boudoir is right in front”
In less than a cup of tea, Jiang Shuyue’s boudoir arrived
There were already a few young girls sitting in the room
They were all familiar faces
All of them met
There was no shortage of pleasantries and bustle
Ling Jingshu took a look at Jiang Shuyue and complimented her with a smile, “Sister Jiang is really beautiful today”
Jiang Shuyue was born with a cute and naive face, and there were some childishness between her eyebrows
Today, she wore a red dress, her face was covered with a thin layer of powder, more than usual a few points of brightness
Jiang Shuyue smiled with a curved brow, and her tone was as lively and cheerful as usual: “My mother instructed me a long time ago that today is the day of my maturity, and there are a lot of friends and relatives to observe the ceremony
She told me to be dignified and reserved
Don’t talk and don’t laugh!
Eh, I was born with this temper
I can’t help it”
The moment these words came out, all the young girls couldn’t help but laugh
One of the girls said with an envious face, “I heard that the guest of honor for Sister Jiang’s maturity ceremony today is the Crown Princess!”How honorable the Crown Princess is, the one who has the honor of having her as the guest of honor, besides Second Miss Su, is Sister Jiang”Yes, Sister Jiang is really good luck ,” the crowd said as you spoke and I spoke, all with envy in their eyes
Ling Jingshu was slightly surprised
I didn’t expect that today’s guest of honor would be the Crown Princess
Su Ying is the niece of the Crown Princess’s mother’s family, and her feelings are close
As the Crown Princess is her own aunt, it makes sense for her to be the guest of honor for Su Ying
But for Jiang Shuyue to be the guest of honor, it is a bit unusual
Thinking about this, Ling Jingshu did not move to measure Jiang Shuyue a few times
Jiang Shuyue’s pretty face was flushed, and there was a light in her eyes
That light lit up the young girl’s delicate face and revealed a hint of mysterious joy
Just at this moment, footsteps sounded at the door and a familiar beautiful face came into view
It was Su Ying who came!
Jiang Shuyue busily smiled and stood up, pulling Su Ying’s hand and intimately shouted, “Sister Su, why did you not come until now”
Compared to Jiang Shu Yue’s enthusiasm, Su Ying’s smile appeared a bit forced: “I’m sorry, my health has been poor for the past two days, I got up a bit late in the morning, and I came a bit late”
While saying this, she drew back her hand without a trace
Ling Jingshu didn’t miss this small detail, and her heart moved again
Jiang Shuyue was the star-studded protagonist today, and after hastily saying a few words to Su Ying, she went back to exchanging pleasantries with the newly arrived guests
Su Ying swept her gaze and just happened to meet Ling Jingshu’s concerned eyes
After a slight hesitation, she walked over to Ling Jingshu’s side: “Sister Ling, I haven’t seen you for a few days, how have you been lately!”
Ling Jingshu had entered the palace twice in just a month, and both Empress Xu and Wei Jieyu had favored her
This matter had long been rumored in the capital, and Su Ying had also heard about it
Ling Jingshu did not intend to say much and casually smiled, “It’s fine
However, Sister Su’s face doesn’t look too good
Where is she uncomfortable, have you had a doctor look at her?”
Su Ying hid a smile, “It’s nothing, probably due to the cooler weather and poor appetite, my spirit is not as good as before
Rest for a few days and you will be fine”
Is it really that simple?
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said tentatively, “I heard that today’s main guest is the Crown Princess”
Su Ying’s body trembled and her smile became more and more forced, “Yes, it turns out that the Duke of England’s residence has already invited the official guest
I didn’t expect the Crown Princess to take the initiative to come as the guest of honor, and then it was temporarily changed
Not only will the Crown Princess come, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Taisun will also come”
Su Ying was still a teenage girl in the end, not much of a city
Speaking later, the gloom in her complexion could barely be concealed
Her unusual reaction also confirmed what Ling Jingshu had guessed in her heart
Jiang Shu Yue’s maturity ceremony, the Crown Princess will come, but even the Crown Prince and the Imperial Grandson will come
The meaning of this could be seen at a glance
No wonder Jiang Shuyue is so happy today, no wonder Su Ying is so gloomy
The contest between the two ended with Jiang Shuyue’s victory
